Chapter 151: The Principality of Flo Continues to Fall
The scene in the altar space all fell into Locke's mind sense, and the collection of these undead lords in the altar space also brought a little ripple to the dead altar space.
Locke only thought about it for a moment, and immediately understood the reason why these undead lords were acting the way they were. These undead lords must have regained their freedom at this time, and the altar space they owned was able to isolate the slavery contract.
Thinking about this, Locke couldn't help but show joy in his heart. Originally, these undead lords gathered together, and Locke had no chance to hit the attention of these undead lords, but now, these undead lords are scattered, and his opportunity has come. He is completely able to use these undead lords as a food reserve for his own evolution and strength.
After sensing the situation in the altar space, Locke also came up with the number of undead lords who were included in the altar space by himself, which was as much as fifty-eight, to be precise, there were still fifty-eight undead lords left at this time.
As an eighth-level undead lord, if there is an astringent aura at the same level or a stronger existence, Locke cannot judge the specific strength level of the other party, but for the existence below the eighth level, Locke only needs to sweep his mind, even if it is astringent, generally speaking, it can't escape Locke's induction.
Among these fifty-eight undead lords, Locke found forty-one undead lords who were only level seven in strength. This means that there are as many as seventeen undead lords above level eight.
In fact, when Locke was still meditating and waiting in the Giant Stone Cave Heaven, there were not so many undead lords with level eight or above strength among them. The more than a dozen undead lords above the eighth level and other seventh-level undead lords were summoned by Ming Zun last time when he returned to the cave heaven and saw Locke, and once again used the corpses of high-level professionals to summon the undead.
After all, the corpses in this cave were extremely important to Ming Zun, and Ming Zun naturally had to ensure that there was enough guard power before he summoned all the corpses of those high-level professionals he had collected that had not yet been summoned into enslaving undead lords to guard the cave sky. But I didn't want to, even so, there was still an accident with the corpse of Dongtian.
There are more than a dozen enslaved undead lords above level eight, and there are at least two level nine undead lords among them. With so many undead lords, if he can devour the soul fire of these undead lords and advance to the ninth level of undead lords, he is nine out of ten.
However, Locke did not immediately start hunting down the eighth-level undead lords among them. Although Locke's strength is the top existence among the eighth-level professionals in the Loki plane, if he does not summon the contract undead, his strength is less than half. With necromantic magic alone, Locke is only slightly stronger than ordinary undead lords among the eighth-level undead lords.
After all, Locke had just advanced, and his bone frame had not been tempered by death qi to the same extent as other eighth-level undead lords. Moreover, the undead attack magic controlled by Locke is not too powerful.
Under such circumstances, it would not be easy for Locke to kill an undead lord of the same level in a short period of time to devour his soul fire. And after a long time, the movement that broke out between himself and the undead lord warriors would inevitably attract other undead lords of the same level in the altar space.
When the time comes, he will most likely fall into the siege of the undead lords. After all, in the eyes of the undead lord, Locke at this time was not his own kind, but a human mage.
What's more, Locke had just been promoted to the eighth-level undead lord two days ago, and he had broken through the limit to advance with the help of the soul fire that had leapfrogged and devoured the eighth-level undead lord. As a result, Locke's foundation is not stable, and the soul fire is not pure enough, and it takes a long time to meditate to stabilize the foundation, so that there will be less bottleneck when he is promoted to a ninth-level undead lord in the future, and even Skeletron King of the Sanctuary Realm.
As soon as his mind moved, Locke's spiritual power extended into the altar space withdrew, and at the same time, the stele was once again included in the soul fire in Locke's body.
"It's been almost a month since the last battle of Anyang City, and I'm still going out to find out the situation outside. Although Locke intended to be silent for a while, he did not want to miss out on the great benefits of war.
After spending a large amount of gold, Locke easily found the information he needed.
At this time, Anyang City had already fallen into the hands of the two coalition forces, as early as half a month ago, after the defeat of the two coalition forces, they immediately entangled a more powerful military force and attacked Anyang City again. In just two hours, Anyang City completely fell, and only a few of the professional soldiers in Anyang City fled, and the rest were killed by the combined forces of the two countries.
In the ensuing period, the Duchy of Canglan and the Duchy of Sniko continued to attack other cities in the Duchy of Flo while continuously mobilizing troops. Without capturing a single city, the combined forces of the two countries plundered most of the wealth that could be plundered in the city.
The huge amount of gold coins and resources has also attracted more professionals from the two countries to join the professional armies of the two countries.
As a result, although a large number of sergeants continued to fall in the battle, the army formed by the combined forces of the two countries snowballed, increasing in number, and the battle was almost unstoppable. In the Duchy of Flo, since the fall of Anyang City, after a large number of professional sergeants died in battle, it is difficult to recruit freelancers from within the Duchy of Flo to participate in the war.
After all, although the benefits promised by the Duchy of Flo are attractive, if you want to gain something, you need to take corresponding risks, and the risk of participating in the war at this time is much greater than the benefits of these professionals. These professionals are not stupid, and naturally they will not die because of the benefits they can't get.
There are even many professionals in the Duchy of Flo, because of their greed, who have joined the side of the alliance between the two countries and participated in the attack on the Duchy of Flo.
Not only did many freelancers flee or betray in the Duchy of Flo, but even many nobles of all sizes in the Duchy of Flo began to defect in large numbers under such circumstances, which made the situation of the Duchy of Flo even worse.
Under such an increase and decrease, the Duchy of Flo could not withstand the conquest of the combined forces of the two countries at all, and began to retreat one after another. The cities of the Duchy of Flo fell one after another, and were divided between the two countries after plundering most of their wealth and resources.
The territory of the Duchy of Canglan and the Duchy of Sniko also continued to expand over time.
During this time, the huge number of necromancers led by Mingzun also collected a large number of corpses that died in battle, and even collected a lot of corpses of high-level professionals who fell in the war. In the midst of the war, the necromancers hidden in the shadows are the biggest beneficiaries of this war.
The powerful necromancers under Mingzun, because of this opportunity, summoned one by one to enslave the undead lords, and many undead wizards controlled the number of enslaved undead who controlled the limit. Even the corpses of the extra seventh-level professionals were given to those disciples of the necromancers or the sixth-level subordinates who were valued by the necromancers.
For a while, the overall strength of these necromancers began to swell violently.
Faced with such a situation, the Duchy of Flo began to shrink its forces and began to abandon its garrison. The nobles and nobles who were still loyal to the Freud family were gathered in the main city of the Duchy of Flo.
Although there are a large number of freelancers in each principality, their strength is far less than that of the nobility in the principality. After all, what determines the outcome of a war is often the battle between the peak combat forces. And the powerful presence among the freelancers will be absorbed by the power of the nobility in the principality, divided into titles, and assimilated into the new nobility.
While searching for information, Locke also tried to contact other members of the organization through the secret contact signals between the necromancer organizations. However, after some searching, Locke did not find that there were other necromancers hiding in Anyang City.
After spending a lot of gold coins and finding out these detailed information, Locke immediately left Anyang City and rushed towards the main city of the principality where the Freud family base was located in his memory.
Locke's previous identity, Ealing, was a descendant of the Freud family, and he was very familiar with the location of the main city, and even the situation in the main city.
Along the way, as he passed through the cities, Locke also stopped a little to contact the other necromancers. However, the city that Locke passed through had largely fallen and became the territory of the Duchy of Canglan and the Duchy of Snico. Aside from encountering a few low-level organizational necromancers in some cities, Locke did not encounter other necromancers.
It wasn't until Locke came to Blackwater City that he encountered a few undead magic guides who got together, and several of them were brothers who had met with Locke.
After communicating with a few brothers, Locke also had a new understanding of the current situation of the mage organization.
Not long ago, these undead demon guides had seen Mingzun, and they had also heard about the changes in the giant stone cave. At this time, these undead wizards, in addition to collecting the corpses of a large number of soldiers who fell in the war, are also secretly hunting and killing professionals in the Three Kingdoms, and even ordinary people, taking advantage of the chaos of the outbreak of war to act secretly.
Therefore, although the number of professionals and ordinary civilians in each city during the war decreased unreasonably during this period, it was not noticed by the three countries that were caught in the war.
And Mingzun has already found another hidden place as a base to temporarily store the corpses, constantly going back and forth between various cities, receiving a large number of corpses collected by his disciples through various means. Mingzun, whose strength is comparable to that of the powerhouse of the Holy Domain, has been reduced to a porter.
There are only a few seventh-level undead magic guides in Blackwater City, and there are still a lot of undead magic guides on Mingzun's side, not here, but hidden in the shadows, constantly intercepting and killing the professionals sent to the battlefield by the Duchy of Canglan and the Duchy of Snico, and some continue to lurk in one city after another, moving freely to be on standby at any time.
